In this video tutorial I teach you how to use a pair of leggings you already have to create a pattern that you will then use to create a brand new pair of leggings. We do not need to cut open the existing pair you have. This technique is very simple and great for sewing beginners.

In this DIY leggings tutorial I just show one way of making a pair of stretch pants. There are dozens of different ways to do everything in sewing especially when it comes to garment sewing. I tried to keep this instructional video short, concise and as basic as I could in order to encourage you beginners out there! Making your own clothes doesn't have to take forever and be super complex. Just start small and simple with a project like this one and work your way up to fancier pieces.

Seriously, thank you for pointing out which needles, types of fabric and why you are using them! There are sooooooo many videos that don't say these sorts of important tidbits and it makes being a beginners life hard!

@sadaishashimmers9632 7 лет назад

I Was wondering the same

@brigettefahey6278 5 лет назад

Savanna Kraft I agree! She has been very thorough and detailed! I’m 50 and she’s teaching me things I didn’t know ♥️

@dayzemae9015 Год назад

No, Seriously thank you for making a video that ANYONE can understand. After watching tons of others that are a pain to watch, you are a breath of fresh air!

@psharp4780 10 лет назад

I have been sewing for over 50 years but I have been enjoying your tutorials.

@gwdolly 10 лет назад

I found you last evening and all I can say is you are totally awesome! I am 71, haven't sewed for 32 years and am starting anew. However, I learned more from you last night and this morning than I knew for my first 20 years of sewing. I never had instructions so just "faked" it but still made some pretty gorgeous things. Now I have the confidence, after watching just a couple of your tutorials, to really start creating the beautiful things I've been dreaming of, both for the new baby (first of her generation) born four weeks early on Cinco de Mayo (even though we aren't Hispanic I love Cinco de Mayo -- it's way cool) and her cohorts as they come along. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping an old lady find joy and purpose in her life!

@musicsportexercisepets.ima9444 9 лет назад

Its lovely to see a person learning to sew at 71.I am 60 I thought it was waste of time then I saw you and new I was not wasting my time. thanks you helped me too.

@russialatrice1612 9 лет назад

Such an inspiration!

@flawlessgemini1476 6 лет назад

Gail Dolly Aww this is so sweet!

@goodgirl5824 5 лет назад

I have been sewing for years and this is the first tutorial I’ve found that makes sewing leggings without a store purchased pattern easy as pie. I’m in love! 😍 I’m extra tall and I’m thick so clothes pants cost me a fortune. Now I can make my own in colors I like. Thank you so much, girly. I’m now a fan and I’ve subscribed.

@Ginaisarty 10 лет назад

Thank you for this video. Im still struggling to learn to sew and watching this really helped me not be so scared of elastic ! :) GREAT TUTORIAL

@RememberTheLord 4 года назад

Lovvvve this!! No music, not too loud or lengthy, just direct, clear explaining, and sooooo helpful. I’m so grateful to you & subscribed ❤️

@TeilaSimon 10 лет назад

I love your tutorials. This is the second one I have watched and you have me hooked. You are so informative. Thank you!

@Shanelie 7 лет назад

You have a great way of explaining things. Really enjoyed this video!

@Shinestyles4U 4 года назад

I finally made a pair and I love them Thank you so much for sharing and explaining so easy 😍😍😍

@sportyguitar 9 лет назад

Wow, Vanessa, I have never been moved to write a comment on RU-vid before. Your video was terrific on so many levels. Every thing was covered perfectly and really well thought out! From your most excellent explanation of how and why of materials needed and the step by step process of laying out, cutting, pining and sewing!! AND you didn't make us watch you put in every pin in slow-mo! It might be nice to show how to put in a one pin for those who really don't know, but most of us who choose to watch a video like yours know would know that. You gave all the information to really go out and DO! And I will! You exude energy, enthusiasm and excitement with out being Manic! Brava! Kudus and Wild Blessings! Can't wait to go view your other sites and projects.

@TheCraftyGemini 9 лет назад

mrmccaa Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I have over 300 video tutorials so I'm sure you'll find something else to try! Happy sewing!

@janinemoore8094 8 лет назад

+TheCraftyGemini I agree with +mrmccaa i am studying fashion design and your videos are helping a lot. so much more detailed and explanatory. Thank you for sharing

@ea8435 6 лет назад

Perfectly stated!

@camaradeize 9 лет назад

You are a great girl you know, I loved to listen to your clear explanations, very easy for beginners. I am a professional but I like to watch this kind of tutorials haha, funny to see how we work differently. Greetings from the Netherlands

@ashleysovilla2037 5 лет назад

Your tutorials are phenomenal! So thorough yet concise. I actually feel like I can do this!

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

Thanks it really is! Have fun with it!

@jenchatfield9968 7 лет назад

Thank you!! Great tutorial. I made leggings for my daughter as my very first sewing project and thanks to you they came out great! I'm never buying leggings again!

@NeNeHarumi 11 лет назад

I love how clear your instructions are, how well you enunciate, and how genuinely pleasant you are! You exude confidence and I seriously just felt all around more joyful from watching you in this video. Thanks for the tutorial!

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад

It really is! Have fun!

@AyeeeItsAshlynn 3 года назад

I haven't even finished the video yet but I already love it! I've been searching for videos like this as I'm new to sewing, and I love how you included the type of needle needed and how thorough you were with your explanations. Will be following!

@roz3657 10 лет назад

So happy I found your video, You explained things so well and I love how you show all the tools needed to get the project done. Thank You!

@ka1mantic200 4 года назад

I’ve watched a lot of videos about sewing for cosplays and this video is by far the best one ive found! Super informative and great explanations I was always confused about which fabrics to use and what difference it’d make so I really appreciate your videos!

@gayathrin854 2 года назад

Thank you so so much for such an informative, yet simple tutorial! I’ve read sewing books, seen other videos, looked up online step by steps on how to make leggings but they always confused me. This is so thorough yet easy for me to understand!!

@Giovanni-mn8pv 8 лет назад

I love this tutorial! I will be making my first pair of leggings tomorrow. I'm super excited.

@AnneWickman 4 года назад

Thank you so much for your clearly instructed video. I am still new to sewing with knits and have loads of questions. You answered one of my questions early on which was how to know placement of a pattern piece to get the stretch properly. Thank you so much!

@Bainjane 10 лет назад

Vanessa, you're a great instructor. Thanks for this awesome tutorial!!

@fran-gx3kf 8 лет назад

Thanks, just what I wanted to try! I love the simplicity!

@deborahkelley5775 6 лет назад

Been listening to and looking at sewing videos for the past 6 months, and this is, by FAR, the BEST! Never commented on a video before, but do not change a thing! I've subscribed and will be sharing. TY

@lolly3337 9 лет назад

@violette_0o0 8 лет назад

Thank you so much for the tutorial- very clear and easy to understand! so happy i found your channel especially now that I am saving up for my first sewing machine! will definitely learn a lot of techniques from your videos.

@vickiefritz519 3 года назад

I love watching your tutorials! You make everything look easy! I can't wait to make a pair for my girls!

@mommasagamer5357 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for making this tutorial. It is by far the best one I have seen yet on how to make your own leggings without a store bought pattern. It also helps when trying to increase the size of store bought leggings that were too small. This totally frees you up to be able to buy smaller sizes and craft them to fit. Two thumbs up from this momma.

@cherylspecioso4315 8 лет назад

Great Tutorial!!! Very detailed on many levels. Thank you so much for sharing.

@jenniferkoller7886 10 лет назад

I love your tutorials. Very clear and it helped me not to be so afraid of stretch fabric. I'm going to use this tutorial to try my first pair of leggings.

@LoriSews 7 лет назад

Started watching you with your organic gardening videos. I thought they were the best and I did not know that you were the crafty Gemini so I look at it too. Thank you for all your knowledge and insight into both worlds!

Vanessa, once again you are outstanding! I enjoy all of your videos, and your instructions are always very detailed but concise, and not boring. Thank you for all you do, and keep up the good work.. I've sewn for years, but your instructions are much more interesting than when I learned how to sew.

@EmpressQueenB 10 лет назад

Was thinking the same thing! That part is ESSENTIAL! Can't begin to stress how important that is!!!

@modgurl69 10 лет назад

I love this video!!!!!! I am going to make tons of leggings this winter. Thank you Vanessa and may blessings for all you do for us.

@micheleritala4228 3 года назад

You make the best sewing tutorials! I’ve sewn a few other projects from your videos and they turned out perfectly. I once sewed pajama bottoms from a Simplicity pattern and sewed two right pants legs! I won’t make that mistake using your video. Thank you!

@burhanaislam1472 10 лет назад

@SuperDEE547 7 лет назад

Thanks Vanessa. I've learned to make pj from your video and every time I need a review ( don't make a lot of pants) I just have to refer back to this video. Love it. Lots of clear info for a novice like me. Blessings.

@brigettefahey6278 5 лет назад

OMGEE thank you so much! Boy do you make it look so easy to work with knits. There are so many things I want to make but I’ve been skittish because my machine “eats” the fabric. Now I finally know what the problem has been for decades! You are amazing! God bless, I will be following you and watching all of your videos- some of them I’m going to watch over and over to make sure I get it right.

@TheCraftyGemini 11 лет назад
